It proves the old strategy “divide and conquer” works, it takes apperently more time but works.

What kind of equipment did you guys have? Me and my dad want to fix up a junker when I get out of college, but we don’t have much of a budget.

I had a chain hoist to lift the engine, a couple of decent jacks, and I had to go out and buy a mig welder, apart from that it was spanners and a few mates to help with lifting the bodywork off, and of course hard work.

im planning on having a full restoration done to my car does anyone know how much a full restoration cost??

megasuggs April 24th, 2009 (#)

This restoration cost me about £2000, but that was just for new parts and paint and buying a mig welder, I did all the work myself exept rechromeing the rear overriders, it did take a long time though, as I could only do it in my spare time.
